Friday’s “On the Needles”

A little further on Jim’s “sleep socks”. Actually it’s still “sock”, but I’ve made some progress:

And in the middle of a dozen thousand other projects, I had this wild urge to make one of these ruffly scarves:

These could be seriously addicting, as it only takes about three hours to knit one up. I chose this salmon and tan because my coat is tan, and I plan to just wear it as a “neckline filler”. I would like to make another one in a dark color with sparkles for the holiday season. Did I mention THREE HOURS???

The scarf yarn is Paton’s Pirouette yarn. Paton’s has a great video, including a modified way to bind off so your bound-off end looks like the starting end. Click here for scarf video.

Thanks so much for the link. I have made one of these scarves with another name yarn and it took me much longer than 3 hours!!! I was knitting in every big loop and stopped when it was 55 or 58 inches long! I still had quite a bit of yard left. Your colors are great looking. I’m not sure we have that brand around my area, but I’m going to look for it.
